Smitty says:  You may be right since it has been a year or two. but that
doesn't sound like much of an engine to power what was the fastest bird
in the fleet in its day.  Seems like a 3350 would be more likely.  Just
playing with memory I believe the AM was the only single engine, single
wing plane in the fleet with a 4360.  It liked to do snap rolls when the
pilot fiddled with the throttle.  Very difficult to bring aboard a
carrier for that reason.
        I'll bet the enemy was impressed when their own bullets came
bouncing back at them when firing at a GY Corsair.      GG
